pendulum

Thanks for putting it in perspective. I was thinking I had a total fail after 3 days. Maybe I'll hack the css, as has been demanded. My worry is that an update would undo my hack. I'm actually starting to consider a $10 a month hosted service. My time is worth more than $10 a month.

I just spent three days intalling and getting to know and configuring thirty bees. Unfortunately, only just now, did I try the 'create an account'. To my dismay it asked for a birthdate. "no problem", I thought, "surely, like everything else, there's a way to configure this? No need to panic." Imagine my dismay after another wasted 10 minutes searching on google, only to find this thread and one other, that recommends modifying css files or some other file. I'm just a guy with a little store. I don't want the liability of keeping someone's personal identity information in a shopping cart database, and protecting it from hackers, for the sake of sending them a spam email once a year. I don't have a team of attorneys. I'm not AT&T. I don't need the superfluous liability. It's not acceptable to modify css or some other file that will probably get updated back to zero some time in the future without me catching it. Also .. it asks to sign up for newsletter and recive special offers from partners. Also, not wanted, not relevant to my business, not needed. Should I search google for another 15 minutes, paw around 'modules', or can someone tell me if THOSE can be configured. Sigh. I'm on the verge of looking for another shopping cart, even after three days of work. I'll probably have to. When is this issue going to be corrected? edit ... sorry that this is so much a rant. but after three days of work, at probably 25% productivity pawing around 'modules', I'm really disappointed with this final apparently unsolvable issue. Anyone remember the old text based adventure games? When you solve one problem, and that only opens up another problem? It takes days to get to the end of the adventure? That's how this configuration feels like; a never ending series of problems to be solved. Well ... at least those adventure games had a happy ending. Oppps. There I go again. Sorry.
